Masala Dosa is a thin and crispy variation of the popular south Indian crepe, which has its origins in tuluva Mangalorean cuisine...made popular by the Udupi hotels. It is made from rice & dal batter and has earned India its place on global cuisine map. Masala Dosa contains a spicy and aromatic stuffing made with boiled and mashed potato, onion & spices.
Potato masala stuffed idli is a delicious and perfect snack recipe as these spicy potato stuffing will surely take the plain idlis to another level.
It is a common breakfast dish, and street food. Idli and dosa is rich in carbohydrates, contains no salt, sugar or saturated fats and its constituent ingredients of rice and lentils mean that it is glutton-free and contains protein.The fermentation process increases the vitamin B and vitamin C content.
